Alter iue regular passenger train left Columbia yesterday after noon for Augusta it was followed by a train of empty cars for Augusta. The! two trains rolled at the rate of about 20 mileB an hour, one following close upon the other. The passenger train had just reached a siding and was about to stop when the second train came rushing along and the engine telescoped the ladies' Dassenger car, throwing it and the smoking car from the track. A terrible scene followed. The ladies' car was filled with Dassenuers and men. women and children were jammed together, wounded, crushed and bleeding. After a few moments of confusion the windows and doors were broken open, and tbe passengers carried from tbe wreck. Hut one me was lost, uiai oi nanes Nightingale, aged six years, son of Win.

The McDonald trial it still the central attraction here, and tbe court room was again crowded to excess to-day. The fiast witnesa was B. id. Engel ke, recliner, wno tesiined to nav-ing talked with Joyce at various timet since 1871 about doing business. Witness was told by him that he could purchase crooked whisky and would be protected in so doing; in lact was urged to oo to, tnd several timet wis asked by Joyce if he was getting til he could ntndle. Wit always notified in advance of aeentt coming from Washington or elsewhere to investigate, and waa ordered to "straighten up," "get tbe house in order," "be prepared to receive com pany, etc Avery used to send the ring information of any movement that looked dangerous. Joyce on one occasion said to witness, "My friend Bibcock writes me there is hell to pay. We are in a scrape and mutt get out of it." Witness paid his share of various assessments made for the benefit of Hague and other parties. When we were told to raise money there was little satisfaction given us. We were told to do it and it had to be done. Witnesa paid John Leavenworth two assessments for what was called a cam paign fund. Paid $100 to the Hutchins .Sixth ward fund, and $250 to the Slate fund. Understood Uutchins'a fund retched $3000, tnd all were required to contribute to it. From 1872 to 1875 the Ring ws composed of McDonald, Joyce. Fill- roy, McKee, Maguire, Patrick, Newcomb and uroavenor, oi me uemocrai. iue latter gave $1000 to "let up" on Maguire when the latter was teeauig tne nomination for Mayor of the city. Con. Cannon, Evrest, and perhaps others slso received money. Witness gave considerable information about doing the crooked business. He hd trouble at times with Borne of the officers about his way of purchasing crooked whisky, and at one time he was assessed $800 for it, which he refused to pay. Tbey then threatened to shut him up, anil he told tbem if they did they would have to close up others too. The matter was finally compromised. Witness had several conversations with C. M. Ford about the business, and also talked with McKee about it. Received a letter from Ford on one occasion in re. gard to the matter. Understood $20,000 had to be raised for a campaign fund in 1872. Ford closed his house once in 1871 for two days, and then he was ai' lowed to proceed. Witness admitted be' iiiE Darlv to several indictments here and had pleaded guilty to some of them, but had not considered ana am not Know what effect his testimony would have up on indictments still pending against him, John r . Ziedenaop, foreman ol n. W. Ulerici's distillery, testified that he began work for Ulerici in 1872. Whisky was so low in price and at that time the mar ket was so giutteu mat we euaer nau to closeor run crnnKed, as tne rest were doing. At first Ulerici opposed it, bui finally yielded and began in August, 1871 Our gaugers were changed, and the new ones told us to run to our full capacity In 1873 we ran straight, but Ihe revenue agents were so hard on us we had to run crooked again. We were required to make forty to sixty barrels of crooked per week by Joyce's directions, and we had to pay assessments whether we made it or not. Joyce waa well posted as to the market price, and increased the assessment when the market was brisk. We used to get rid of all of it at those prices. The market was so glutted we paid thirtyfive cents per gallon to the ring, and when it rose to ninety cents they demand ed fortyfive cents, which the distillers refused to pay, ter, aa it was, tne rung took half, the rectifiers half, and the distillers were left out in the cold. It was then agreed that the distillers should be permitted to make six or seven barrels weekly, upon which the Ring would make no lew. Whenever I did not put money enough in the weekly packages for the King to satisiy Joyce, ne caneu Buaaeniy and made it hot for me. Three letters from General McDonald, as Supervisor, to J. W. Douglass, Commissioner of Internal Revenue, at Washing. ton, were then introduced in evidence and read, Tbe first one was dated January 22, 1874, and is in reply to Btatementssent to Commissioner Douglass by District Attorney Patrick, regarding alleged violations of the revenue law by Bevis & Frazer, and says that allegations made by parties named in Mr. Patrick's letter have been examined on several occasions and found without foundation in fact, The same charges were made against the firm in 1872, and examined by Collector Ford and Mr. Patrick, who found noth ing- to luslify action. Subseauently rev enue agents Gavitt, Brishear and Yaryan made a thorough examination oi the establishment of the firm, and while they found technical violation of law in the manner of keeping book form fiftvtwo, no evidence of fraud was found. The General further states that the affairs of the firm were freauentlv investigated by himaelf, Revenue Ageut Joyce, Collector Ford and others, but no evidence of fraud was ever found. Another letter is dated March 6, 1874, and enclosed a clipping from the New York Sun intimating that General Mc Donald is at the head of the whisky frauds in Illinois and other plaoes. This, the General says, he would not notice were it not that St. Louis papers made wild and unfounded charges against taxpayers and officers ot this district, but when caiiad on for facts to aid bim in prosecuting vio lations of law they have railed to aun-Btantiate their allegations. He then re fers to the fact that the uepartment nas repeatedly sent agents to this di-trict to ferret out oharges, and frequent examinations have been made, but always wimoui- uiBuu.wwg any fraud. He also states that he has paid particular attention to the enforcement of the law in this city during the past year, and cites as evidence ot his diligence thatdurins? January and February, lOlt, coiieuiiuua lu luta uioti".. w.".- those of the corresponding months of the previous year about $100,000. He closed by saying, "I court, challenge and defy the most scrutinising department or ju dicial Investigation into my integrity as a man and my conduct as a public omcer." Tbe third letter is dated March si, 1874. and is in reply to report, sent to Commissioner Douglas that some books and papers of Beves, Frazer s Co. were destroyed by fire, supposed to be done by design, while their affairs were under in vestigation upon a charge of fraud, lo this tbe General says In substance that he, with Collector Maguire and Revenue Agent Gunther, made thorough examination of the circumstances attending the burning of books and papers referred to, and they til fully agreed that their detraction vas accidental. Qe further states that in sonsequenca of several complaint against this hrm be and Bev-enue Agent Joyce and Deputy Collector Filiroy have repeatedly made thorough inspection of the books of the firm, but have never been able to detect anything illegal or fraudulent in their dealings with the Government. The reading of these letters was listened to eagerly, and in view of the developments brought out to far in thit trial caused, much smiling and occasianally laughter. The defendant, however, betrayed no confusioa. W. R. Jonett, wko wis Superintendent it Chtuteou't distillery In 1873 tnd 1874, and then went into the distilling himself, waa next called. Hit testimony waa generally similar lo that of others who preceded him. He made crooked both at Chauteon'a, tnd when operating for himself wis in the ring and paid money to different parties of the ring. Both McDonald and Collector Ford visited tnd extmined Chiuleou distillery while he waa there, but found nothing wrong. Did not run crooked all the time. Louis Tenscher testified thtt he was engaged in distilling from February, 1878. till the general seizure in May last. Talked with Joyce several timet about miking crooked. He told me to make from thirty to forty barrels weekly for the ring. I made from twentyfive to fifty barrels of crooked per week. If 1 did not make enough Joyce would tell me to make. more. Mc Donald came to mv still once, looked over It and said to me, "You make me feel happy." Did rot run crooked all the time. A. Ji. carton, agent ot mngnam Brothers, testified that one distillery run straight part of the time and crooked part of the time, making aa much as sixty or seventy barrels of the latter. Occasionally talked with Joyce about money. Paid bim all the way from 20U tolzuu per week. The amount kept increasing till Bingham abut down operations. We could not stand it, and closed some time before seizure. After 'selling whisky at a discount and paying weekly levies there was nothing left for the proprietors. Have received notice from Joyce of the coming of agents to examine the distillery. Joyce claimed to have letters from the TretBUry and Revenue Departments. Have seen letters signed by Avery, Holt and Rogers. His object was to show me the thing was understood at headquarters. Never had any conversation wilh McDonald about crooked whisky. Raised money for Hogue and others, some of which I understood was to go to Washington. John UTieary tesunea mat ne women atCurran's and Busby's distilleries. Both made crooked whisky. While at Busby's Joyce, McDonald, Maguire and Filzrny came there once with Col. Munn. They took off the locks and went all through the house, but found no crooked whisky. They were one day too late, Fitzroy told us the day before Munn was coming, and we straightened up. Adjourned. It seems an error crept into last night's report in reference to the amount paid to Mr. McKee in the presence of Filzroy. The amount testified to was $480 instead of $4800, and the plsce was tbe Supervisor's office and not the Globe office. SPANISH DIPLOMACY. Reply of the Madrid Government to Mr. Cunning's Note. A Temperate, Csaolllatery and Reiien-able Doeament. FOltKItiW: New Yobk, Nov. 18. The Herald's Washington special, dated yesterday ,tays: The reply of the Spanish Government to the note of Minister Cushing waa promptly transmitted by cable to the Stale Department, and deciphered there this morning. It proves to be a dignified response to the demands which our Gov ernment made in the matter of American interests in the island of Cuba, and will, it is believed, dissipate ail fears of trouble between Spain and the United Slates. The tone of the reply it firm but very con ciliatory. The justice of our demand is not ignored. The confusion of affaira in Cuba obstruct! the exercise of an impartial and prompt administration of the requirements of the treaty of 1795. Spain defends her right to maintain a eourt-marlial in Cuba, and cites in support of her position on this question the faot tbit the United Stales, during and for a long timt subsequent to the late war of seoession, end France for two years succeeding the triumph of the Republic over tbe Commune, and even then under the mild reign of Thiers, made use of similar military and extraordinary tribunals to deal out justice to tbe public and civil enemies. In the case of France these tribunals sentenced to be shot or to be transported to Cayenne, over two thousand persons, and yet these tribunals ex ercised tbeir functions after the close of the war and the advent of peace. Therefore Spain, in the midst of her wars in Cuba, maintains the right of UBing courts- martial to try offenders against her laws, but readily makes the concession that American citizens can have their advocates or attorneys, and produce witnesses in their own behalf conformably to the provisions of Article seven of the treaty of 1795, and according to tbe regular course ol proceeding in such cases, and givea guarantees of such a mode of de fense. UI course in the case of Spanish subjects, no exception will be made which will allow them the enjoyment of this advantage, in defending themselves sgainst prosecution by the Spanish authorities for their onenses. In these cases the advocates will be designated by the chief military authority, that is, the Captain General will appoint t ,em. Ihe above is a full synopsis or the an-Bwer of the Spanish Government in reply to Mr. Cushing, and has been deemed satisfactory enough to warrant the coun- termandingof orders originally given to put our navy in preparation for aucb contingency aa a misunderstanding be tween the two governments. Concession an lo Courla Martial. Washington, Nov. 18 The Spanish Minister to-day was officially advised from Madrid that his Government has conceded that in future American citizenB on trial before court martial in Cuba shall have the privilege of selecting council for defense. The treaty of 1795, in the opin ion of the Spanish Government, was not sufficiently definite to meet cases of courtB martial in tbe event of war or Insurrection in the island, but the present arrangement settles the question in accordance with the desire expressed in a friend ly note addressed by secretary fish to FRANCE.

The Bureau of the Assembly to-dav elected the committee to consider Ihe press bill, eleven members oft the Spanish Government, and disposes of the committee belonging to the opposition and only four being in favor of the bill.

Anpletoos' Araeriein Cyclopnlii, revised tJI tion. Cobwebs hive been applied to various uses. Ihe delicate crosa-nsirs In tbe tel escopes of surveying instruments are fine webs taken from spiders of species that are specially selected for their production of ao excellent quality of thit material. Tbe spider, when caught, is made to spin bis thread by tossing him from hand to - band. In case he is indisposed to furnish the article. Tbe end is attached to a piece nf wire, which it doubled Into two parallel lengths, the distance apart exceeding a little the diameter ol the matrument. Aa tbe spider hangs and descends from this, the web is wound upon it by turning the wire around. The coils are then gummed to the wire and kept for nse as re- iuired. About a century ago, Boa of anguedoc succeeded in making a pair of gloves and a pair of stockings from the thread of a spider. They were very strong. and of a beautiful gray color. Other at tempts of the same kind have been made: but Reaumer, who waa appointed by the Royal Academy to report on the subject, staled that the web of the spider was not equal to that of the silkworm, either in strength or lustre. The cocoons ot the latter weigh from three to four grains, so that 2304 worms produce a pound of silk; but the bags of the spider, when cleaned, do not weigh above the third part of a grain, to thtt a single silkworm can accomplish the work of twelvespiders.

Freauentlv. when the systematic sewer- age ol a town is undertaken, there comes ud the Question of private drains, which have been built by individual enterprise and are really the property of private owners; but owing to this complication, and the fact that they are thought to he good enough for temporary purposes, they are oflen left to the last. This is entirely wrona-. So far as cir cumstances will permit, the first action of the authorities should be to stop an connection of house drainB with these sewers. The next should be to stop all connection of house drains with private cesspools. This may seem to those who have not considered the subject like an extreme statement; but all who have studied the evidence us to the means of propagation of infectious diseases will recognize its justice. The health ol the community would really be less endangered if the offensive matter, souubt to be sot rid ot were at lowed to flow, in the full Unlit of day, in roadside nutters, than it now is by their introduction into the soil from which the water of bouse wells proceeds, and by the accumulation of putritying massee in un ventilated and leaky caverns, whence the noisonons nases sure to be produced nnd tbeir way through the drains into our nouses, or iuiu uieir unuicuinie vjvim..

The McDonald trial it still the central attraction here, and tbe court room was again crowded to excess to-day. The fiast witnesa was B. id. Engel ke, recliner, wno tesiined to nav-ing talked with Joyce at various timet since 1871 about doing business. Witness was told by him that he could purchase crooked whisky and would be protected in so doing; in lact was urged to oo to, tnd several timet wis asked by Joyce if he was getting til he could ntndle. Wit always notified in advance of aeentt coming from Washington or elsewhere to investigate, and waa ordered to "straighten up," "get tbe house in order," "be prepared to receive com pany, etc Avery used to send the ring information of any movement that looked dangerous. Joyce on one occasion said to witness, "My friend Bibcock writes me there is hell to pay. We are in a scrape and mutt get out of it." Witness paid his share of various assessments made for the benefit of Hague and other parties. When we were told to raise money there was little satisfaction given us. We were told to do it and it had to be done. Witnesa paid John Leavenworth two assessments for what was called a cam paign fund. Paid $100 to the Hutchins .Sixth ward fund, and $250 to the Slate fund. Understood Uutchins'a fund retched $3000, tnd all were required to contribute to it. From 1872 to 1875 the Ring ws composed of McDonald, Joyce. Fill- roy, McKee, Maguire, Patrick, Newcomb and uroavenor, oi me uemocrai. iue latter gave $1000 to "let up" on Maguire when the latter was teeauig tne nomination for Mayor of the city. Con. Cannon, Evrest, and perhaps others slso received money. Witness gave considerable information about doing the crooked business. He hd trouble at times with Borne of the officers about his way of purchasing crooked whisky, and at one time he was assessed $800 for it, which he refused to pay. Tbey then threatened to shut him up, anil he told tbem if they did they would have to close up others too. The matter was finally compromised. Witness had several conversations with C. M. Ford about the business, and also talked with McKee about it. Received a letter from Ford on one occasion in re. gard to the matter. Understood $20,000 had to be raised for a campaign fund in 1872. Ford closed his house once in 1871 for two days, and then he was ai' lowed to proceed. Witness admitted be' iiiE Darlv to several indictments here and had pleaded guilty to some of them, but had not considered ana am not Know what effect his testimony would have up on indictments still pending against him, John r . Ziedenaop, foreman ol n. W. Ulerici's distillery, testified that he began work for Ulerici in 1872. Whisky was so low in price and at that time the mar ket was so giutteu mat we euaer nau to closeor run crnnKed, as tne rest were doing. At first Ulerici opposed it, bui finally yielded and began in August, 1871 Our gaugers were changed, and the new ones told us to run to our full capacity In 1873 we ran straight, but Ihe revenue agents were so hard on us we had to run crooked again. We were required to make forty to sixty barrels of crooked per week by Joyce's directions, and we had to pay assessments whether we made it or not. Joyce waa well posted as to the market price, and increased the assessment when the market was brisk. We used to get rid of all of it at those prices. The market was so glutted we paid thirtyfive cents per gallon to the ring, and when it rose to ninety cents they demand ed fortyfive cents, which the distillers refused to pay, ter, aa it was, tne rung took half, the rectifiers half, and the distillers were left out in the cold. It was then agreed that the distillers should be permitted to make six or seven barrels weekly, upon which the Ring would make no lew. Whenever I did not put money enough in the weekly packages for the King to satisiy Joyce, ne caneu Buaaeniy and made it hot for me. Three letters from General McDonald, as Supervisor, to J. W. Douglass, Commissioner of Internal Revenue, at Washing. ton, were then introduced in evidence and read, Tbe first one was dated January 22, 1874, and is in reply to Btatementssent to Commissioner Douglass by District Attorney Patrick, regarding alleged violations of the revenue law by Bevis & Frazer, and says that allegations made by parties named in Mr. Patrick's letter have been examined on several occasions and found without foundation in fact, The same charges were made against the firm in 1872, and examined by Collector Ford and Mr. Patrick, who found noth ing- to luslify action. Subseauently rev enue agents Gavitt, Brishear and Yaryan made a thorough examination oi the establishment of the firm, and while they found technical violation of law in the manner of keeping book form fiftvtwo, no evidence of fraud was found. The General further states that the affairs of the firm were freauentlv investigated by himaelf, Revenue Ageut Joyce, Collector Ford and others, but no evidence of fraud was ever found. Another letter is dated March 6, 1874, and enclosed a clipping from the New York Sun intimating that General Mc Donald is at the head of the whisky frauds in Illinois and other plaoes. This, the General says, he would not notice were it not that St. Louis papers made wild and unfounded charges against taxpayers and officers ot this district, but when caiiad on for facts to aid bim in prosecuting vio lations of law they have railed to aun-Btantiate their allegations. He then re fers to the fact that the uepartment nas repeatedly sent agents to this di-trict to ferret out oharges, and frequent examinations have been made, but always wimoui- uiBuu.wwg any fraud. He also states that he has paid particular attention to the enforcement of the law in this city during the past year, and cites as evidence ot his diligence thatdurins? January and February, lOlt, coiieuiiuua lu luta uioti".. w.".- those of the corresponding months of the previous year about $100,000. He closed by saying, "I court, challenge and defy the most scrutinising department or ju dicial Investigation into my integrity as a man and my conduct as a public omcer." Tbe third letter is dated March si, 1874. and is in reply to report, sent to Commissioner Douglas that some books and papers of Beves, Frazer s Co. were destroyed by fire, supposed to be done by design, while their affairs were under in vestigation upon a charge of fraud, lo this tbe General says In substance that he, with Collector Maguire and Revenue Agent Gunther, made thorough examination of the circumstances attending the burning of books and papers referred to, and they til fully agreed that their detraction vas accidental. Qe further states that in sonsequenca of several complaint against this hrm be and Bev-enue Agent Joyce and Deputy Collector Filiroy have repeatedly made thorough inspection of the books of the firm, but have never been able to detect anything illegal or fraudulent in their dealings with the Government. The reading of these letters was listened to eagerly, and in view of the developments brought out to far in thit trial caused, much smiling and occasianally laughter. The defendant, however, betrayed no confusioa. W. R. Jonett, wko wis Superintendent it Chtuteou't distillery In 1873 tnd 1874, and then went into the distilling himself, waa next called. Hit testimony waa generally similar lo that of others who preceded him. He made crooked both at Chauteon'a, tnd when operating for himself wis in the ring and paid money to different parties of the ring. Both McDonald and Collector Ford visited tnd extmined Chiuleou distillery while he waa there, but found nothing wrong. Did not run crooked all the time. Louis Tenscher testified thtt he was engaged in distilling from February, 1878. till the general seizure in May last. Talked with Joyce several timet about miking crooked. He told me to make from thirty to forty barrels weekly for the ring. I made from twentyfive to fifty barrels of crooked per week. If 1 did not make enough Joyce would tell me to make. more. Mc Donald came to mv still once, looked over It and said to me, "You make me feel happy." Did rot run crooked all the time. A. Ji. carton, agent ot mngnam Brothers, testified that one distillery run straight part of the time and crooked part of the time, making aa much as sixty or seventy barrels of the latter. Occasionally talked with Joyce about money. Paid bim all the way from 20U tolzuu per week. The amount kept increasing till Bingham abut down operations. We could not stand it, and closed some time before seizure. After 'selling whisky at a discount and paying weekly levies there was nothing left for the proprietors. Have received notice from Joyce of the coming of agents to examine the distillery. Joyce claimed to have letters from the TretBUry and Revenue Departments. Have seen letters signed by Avery, Holt and Rogers. His object was to show me the thing was understood at headquarters. Never had any conversation wilh McDonald about crooked whisky. Raised money for Hogue and others, some of which I understood was to go to Washington. John UTieary tesunea mat ne women atCurran's and Busby's distilleries. Both made crooked whisky. While at Busby's Joyce, McDonald, Maguire and Filzrny came there once with Col. Munn. They took off the locks and went all through the house, but found no crooked whisky. They were one day too late, Fitzroy told us the day before Munn was coming, and we straightened up. Adjourned. It seems an error crept into last night's report in reference to the amount paid to Mr. McKee in the presence of Filzroy. The amount testified to was $480 instead of $4800, and the plsce was tbe Supervisor's office and not the Globe office. SPANISH DIPLOMACY. Reply of the Madrid Government to Mr. Cunning's Note. A Temperate, Csaolllatery and Reiien-able Doeament. FOltKItiW: New Yobk, Nov. 18. The Herald's Washington special, dated yesterday ,tays: The reply of the Spanish Government to the note of Minister Cushing waa promptly transmitted by cable to the Stale Department, and deciphered there this morning. It proves to be a dignified response to the demands which our Gov ernment made in the matter of American interests in the island of Cuba, and will, it is believed, dissipate ail fears of trouble between Spain and the United Slates. The tone of the reply it firm but very con ciliatory. The justice of our demand is not ignored. The confusion of affaira in Cuba obstruct! the exercise of an impartial and prompt administration of the requirements of the treaty of 1795. Spain defends her right to maintain a eourt-marlial in Cuba, and cites in support of her position on this question the faot tbit the United Stales, during and for a long timt subsequent to the late war of seoession, end France for two years succeeding the triumph of the Republic over tbe Commune, and even then under the mild reign of Thiers, made use of similar military and extraordinary tribunals to deal out justice to tbe public and civil enemies. In the case of France these tribunals sentenced to be shot or to be transported to Cayenne, over two thousand persons, and yet these tribunals ex ercised tbeir functions after the close of the war and the advent of peace. Therefore Spain, in the midst of her wars in Cuba, maintains the right of UBing courts- martial to try offenders against her laws, but readily makes the concession that American citizens can have their advocates or attorneys, and produce witnesses in their own behalf conformably to the provisions of Article seven of the treaty of 1795, and according to tbe regular course ol proceeding in such cases, and givea guarantees of such a mode of de fense. UI course in the case of Spanish subjects, no exception will be made which will allow them the enjoyment of this advantage, in defending themselves sgainst prosecution by the Spanish authorities for their onenses. In these cases the advocates will be designated by the chief military authority, that is, the Captain General will appoint t ,em. Ihe above is a full synopsis or the an-Bwer of the Spanish Government in reply to Mr. Cushing, and has been deemed satisfactory enough to warrant the coun- termandingof orders originally given to put our navy in preparation for aucb contingency aa a misunderstanding be tween the two governments. Concession an lo Courla Martial. Washington, Nov. 18 The Spanish Minister to-day was officially advised from Madrid that his Government has conceded that in future American citizenB on trial before court martial in Cuba shall have the privilege of selecting council for defense. The treaty of 1795, in the opin ion of the Spanish Government, was not sufficiently definite to meet cases of courtB martial in tbe event of war or Insurrection in the island, but the present arrangement settles the question in accordance with the desire expressed in a friend ly note addressed by secretary fish to FRANCE.

Anpletoos' Araeriein Cyclopnlii, revised tJI tion. Cobwebs hive been applied to various uses. Ihe delicate crosa-nsirs In tbe tel escopes of surveying instruments are fine webs taken from spiders of species that are specially selected for their production of ao excellent quality of thit material. Tbe spider, when caught, is made to spin bis thread by tossing him from hand to - band. In case he is indisposed to furnish the article. Tbe end is attached to a piece nf wire, which it doubled Into two parallel lengths, the distance apart exceeding a little the diameter ol the matrument. Aa tbe spider hangs and descends from this, the web is wound upon it by turning the wire around. The coils are then gummed to the wire and kept for nse as re- iuired. About a century ago, Boa of anguedoc succeeded in making a pair of gloves and a pair of stockings from the thread of a spider. They were very strong. and of a beautiful gray color. Other at tempts of the same kind have been made: but Reaumer, who waa appointed by the Royal Academy to report on the subject, staled that the web of the spider was not equal to that of the silkworm, either in strength or lustre. The cocoons ot the latter weigh from three to four grains, so that 2304 worms produce a pound of silk; but the bags of the spider, when cleaned, do not weigh above the third part of a grain, to thtt a single silkworm can accomplish the work of twelvespiders.
